Anti-Inflammatories

Aleve and ibuprofen are not the same. Aleve is a brand of naproxen. However, both ibuprofen and naproxen function as pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, and fever reducers.

Yes, both drugs can be taken together, there is no specific interaction between those 2 drugs. You might experiment more dizziness and gastrointestinal disturbing in taking both drugs.. but that's okay.

Nothing, as long as your doctor says you can have either of the medications (i.e. no liver, kidney, or bleeding issues). These medications actually do not interact because they work by different mechanisms in your body.

Yes. Although ibuprofen (advil, and other NSAIDs (Non-Steroid anti-inflammatory drug) help to reduce pain and reduce inflammation, studies show that ibuprofen lengthens the overall healing time of your tissues, and also makes the tissue slightly weaker than before.

Well, Ibuprofen mainly consist of a chemical formula called: C13H18O2 and is a general analgesic. ibuprofen is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bound together by covalent bonds. The pills themselves are manufactured in a lab under sterile conditions. If your wondering this because you want to try to "manufacture" some... it is highly dangerous... i recommend you avoid this.

You should ask your doctor before taking Excedrin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) together.

Excedrin contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine.

Aspirin and ibuprofen are in the same category of medication - non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs). Taking them at the same time may damage the stomach lining and create ulcers, as well as create bleeding issues.

I am going to assume that you are taking Aciphex because of an ulcer. Biaxin is a generic antibiotic for Clarithromycin. Sometimes antibiotics are given in conjunction with ulcer medication. So yes you can take them both. Remember to follow your doctor's advice. Take all of the antibiotics as prescribed. People sometimes stop taking antibiotics because they feel better. Don't do this. Take them all as prescribed. The reason for prescribing an ulcer med with an antibiotic is because sometimes ulcer are caused by a bacterium. The ulcer med reduces stomach acid which will alleviate symptoms and the antibiotic will kill off the bacteria. So take them both as prescribed. If this does not help with your ulcer problem you might want to check with your doctor about a triple antibiotic therapy.

It's likely the hospital didn't pump your stomach because 20 Advil is not enough to kill most people. That said, taking a lot of Advil and drinking alcohol is very bad for the liver. It is a good idea for you to get help for whatever is cause your self-harming behavior. There is a Crisis Call Center you can call or text for help. The number is 800-273-8255 or you can text ANSWER to 839863. Good luck.

Ahh nothing. I've been perscribed Ibprofun with other drugs many of times.

Yes, there is no interaction at all. In fact, most prescriptions of pain killers come in with prescription Ibuprofen and they are usually prescribed together. The one thing to watch out for however, is, APAP in the Dihydrocodeine. Just don't take other products containing APAP as this can lead to liver failure if you take too much APAP. APAP is acetaminophen or Tylenol if you were wondering. Stay safe.

I think there is a mild degree of interactions between the two.

It is not advisable to mix these different types of pain relievers.

Yes, these are OK. Remember that the ibuprofen is hard on the stomach. Have some food before you take it! And remember that the tranquilizer is habit-forming. Take it just as your doctor said without taking extra.

Yes, it can help. It is not a sure fire way to pass by any means. Currently, aspirin can help to screen the THC metabolites in your sample. It does not eliminate or detoxify your sample, it only masks it. Definitely stop smoking at least one week ahead of time and drink at least 2 liters of water (64 oz) and urinate multiple times before the test. Hopefully your urine will be clear by this point.

If you're taking this test at a lab they may question your sample if it is too clear, vitamin b can help to return some of the yellow coloring. They may also check the creatinine levels if they suspect the sample has been diluted. Still, this will lead to a retest which buys you more time to actually detox.

This only works with marijuana and even with water dilution this is not anywhere near 100 percent effective, but it is better than doing nothing.

Aspirin derives its name from its chemical formula, acetylsalicylic acid. The compound is formed from salicylic acid, which is derived from bark from a willow tree. The process was discovered to take away the intense stomach pains associated with salicylic acid.

Interesting note: The same mechanism that makes salicylic acid into acetylsalicylic acid also turns morphene into heroin.

I have been on Synthroid for a year. After a bad cold I called my Doctor and she said to take the Synthroid and wait 1 hour before taking ibuprofen.

In the US, "Aspirin" is the common name. The chemical name is "acetylsalicylic acid". In some countries Aspirin is a registered trademark, and the generic name is something like ASA (short for acetylsalicylic acid).

Yes, ibuprofen can be taken in conjunction with Depakote as long as it is an over the counter brand. If it is an ibuprofen that is mixed with a form of narcotic pain medication, it can not be taken with Depakote.

It says on the bottle not to take more than 6 200mg tablets every 24 hours. However, the maximum dose that is printed on the medicine bottle is always much lower than the maximum dose that you can actually take. They just don't want to get sued, so they warn you never to take more than 6 tablets when you can actually take, like, twice as many.

However, you should check with your doctor before going over the maximum recommended dose. What's safe for most people may not be safe for you. But whenever I've had sports injuries, my doctor has told me to take 3 tablets every 4 hours (instead of 2 every 8 hours). Ibuprofen (Advil) is not just a pain reliever, but an anti-inflammatory, so taking larger doses will help the injury heal faster.

Not entire adult tablets.

Ibuprofen, in the proper dose, is safe for infants. It is usually dispensed in liquid form. This liquid can be purchased at most drug stores. Infants 12-17 lbs should get only 50 milligrams (mg) every 6-8 hours. A normal adult tablet is 200mg therefore the correct dose would be about 1/4 an adult tablet. If you don't have the baby liquid you could crush an adult tablet into a powder, thoroughly mix this powder with strained baby food, then divide the quantity of baby food used into four equal parts.

Since you have not identified the "muscle relaxer" you plan to take with ibuprofen, it would not be appropriate to attempt a broad-brush answer here.

You're advised to get in touch with your pharmacist or prescriber (if either of your drugs are prescription-only) to get a more specific answer to your question. Be sure to clearly identify your medication before you call, so you don't have to scramble while somebody's waiting to answer your question.

No, you can not. Ibuprofen is classed as a NSAID. Others in this class are Aleve, Naproxen, Advil, Celebrex. Neither can you take any blood thinners such as coumadin (warfarin). You must discontinue use for 7 days prior to surgery.

You can. Remember that the Medrol is very harsh on the stomach. Have some food before you take each dose! The Zyrtec-D will make you feel jittery or nervous, and sometimes the steroid might also cause some jitteriness.

The term is BUFFERED aspirin. Aspirin is an acid, and can cause stomach upset. Adding another substance to aspirin (a buffering material) can help counter the acid of the aspirin- and no tricky tummy.
